JOHN II. WILSON TALKS.
He Has Not Asked for Any office.
but Thinks GOV. Church Will be
Confirmed.

Hon. John r. Wilson, of Dakota, promi-
nently mentioned in connection with the
territorial treaSurership under the new adj
ministration. was at the Ryan yesterday. Mr..
Wilson is young attorney of Deadwood,
and has figured very largely IN the affairs
of the Democratic party of Dakota. Two
years ago last fall he was the Democratic
nominee for delegate to congress from Da-
kota. His manifest interest in the affairs
Of the party has led his name to be men
toned most favorably to President Cleve-
land, and latterly to Gov. Church. 1t was
generally understood at the territorial con-
vention at Aberdeen last September that
Mr.. Wilson could have had the nomination
if he had wanted it. AS it was, he was
made chairman of the convention In re-
spouse to question by a GLOBE reporter
he said:

same as though 1 were to ask you to await

Clifford other Republicans in the territory
have put him up to making it in the hope
that they could induce Pierce 10 make the
territorial appointments. Powerful infiu-
ence is now being brought to bear upon him
to persuade him to do so.
Gov. l.. X. Church was at the Ryan yes
terday, en- route from Bismarck to his home
at Huron. He refused to say anything

were totally untrue. He seemed to have no

every day in the gallery which overlooks
the floor of the board of trade, with its
seething mass of traders and clerks, its
great telegraph booth. where more than a
hundred men manipulate the tongues of the
wires which speak to the world, and where
so many fortunes are lost and won Some
queer people break into this gallery-tall
Englishmen from ''Lunon," ultra stylish
women in striped gowns and under enor-
nous hats, and old rangers who quickly
tire of standing and seek rest by flinging a
leg or Two over the railing. OF all the Wis
ltors to the gallery the granger with the
weary legs makes the most fun. Within
two seconds after his cowhide boots crawl
over the rail. the occupants of the gallery
begin to look at each other in astonish-
ment, wondering if an earthquake shock
has frightened the crowd on the floor below
into sudden lunacy, or if some appalling
apparition has floated down into the gallery
through the gilded freSco overhead; for
thousands of faces are at once upturned
toward them, thousands of mouths are
opened and mighty chorus sWells with
rhythmic reverberatons out of thousands of
throatS:
Boo-oo-oo boo-oo-oo boo-oo-oo-oooo.
Each occupant of the gallery at once
takes hasty inventory of himself to ascer-
tain if he is the object of this derisive cho-
rus. The smile which he forces upon his
face looks like a mislit, and as he catches
the eye of a bald-headed man on the floor a
tlngle as of fire visits the poles of his two
cheeks. The granger alone enjoys it. He.
innocent soul, thinks that the chorus is a
part of the game. and the funniest peform-
ance he ever witnessed. HIS lank sides
bake with laughter until the dried mud of
the prairies begins to rattle off his brogans
and there appears the danger that his par
soNysm will precipitate him over the railing
he sits astride. Not until policema n
about seven feet tall comes around and taps
the granger on the shoulder does that
worthy Surmise that he is the cause OF the
outbreak in the internal regions below.
Then his face turns the color of his own
pumpkins when they are ripe, and he yanks
his long legs off that railing quicker than
he ever did anything before in his life His
neIghbors in the gallery heave a unanimous
Sglrpf relief. and suddenly perceive where
the fun comes i'll. Instantly the chorus
ceases the white clOud of upturned faces in
the pits below grows darker and business
and gambling resume the even tenor of
their way.

Not only residents of the city, but
the strangers coming to see the carnival,
have found it very difficult to ascertain
what would occur on any particular day.
The publication of an ''official" programme
in each issue of the papers was taken to be
an announcement of what was to occur,
but people soon found that this was not the
case, as it was very difficult to ascertain
what would actually occur. People have
remarked that this was not the case last
wear, but have not been aware of the rea-
son for the difference. Last year the news
paper reporters regularly put in their time
between II and 2 o'clock each morning in
hunting up, waking up and interviewing
the several managers and other officers of
the carnival to ascertain what would actu-
ally take place on the next day, which was
announced In this way when any feature
OF the official programme had been aban-
doned or postponed the fact became known
This year the reporters were relieved of
this laborious and disagreeable job and
waited for the management to make their
announcements. Consequently the an
nOuncements were not made.

If Miss Maggie Mitchell was to wear the
badges of all the carnival clubs that have
elected her to honorary membership, she
would need little else in the shape of cloth
ing to protect her from the severest billiards
that blow down over st. Paul from Mani
toba and the northern counties of Dakota.
And if all the banquets and floral
tributes that have passed hands between
herself and the officers of the clubs were
gathered together. there would be enough
to fit up green house. From perusa1 of
the various notes to the effect that Miss
Mitchell presented a beautiful bouquet to
the X. Y. z. Toboggan club, which wit
messed her acting at the Grand last night"
it would seem that the favorite and the
carnival clubs had organized mutual adj
miration society, and were working it for
all there was in sight. 1t is certainly
good thing for the clubs. and Miss Mitchell
will have many pleasant memories of the
